"خلال الأربعين سنة الماضية بذلت جهود كثيرة في سبيل إصلاح حال المرأة المسلمة ويمكن أن أقول إن نحوا من (80%)من تلك الجهود كان يصب في مسائل محددة هي: حجاب المرأة,واختلاطها بالرجال وشروط ممارستها للعمل والوظيفة وإثبات أن الإسلام حررها وكرمها في وقت مبكرجدا,وقبل كثير من الأمم.أما الجهود التي بذلت في تنمية المرأة وزجها في في خضم الحركة الإجتماعية فإنها لاتزيد على (20%)وهذا يعني بالضرورة تهميش دور المرأة في نهضة الأمة وتطوير المجتمع. وأتصور أن المطلوب هو العكس .إن كل عمل يقوم به الرجل على صعيده الذاتي وعلى الصعيد الإجتماعي والحضاري يمكن
للمرأة أن تقوم به في إطار تعاليم الإسلام الحنيف التي تدل على خصوصية المرأة .والذين يعملون وفق العادات والتقاليد يريدون من المرأة أن تكون شيئا مختلفا عن الرجل في كل شيء "

نربحها حقيقة لا وهماً"
